Yay. Glad to hear it.

Might have to give it another go & try more flavors.

Fall is coming, maybe a nice pecan, or strawberry/rhubarb!

I like it & while shooting offhand, slow fire & rapid fire alike didn't seem to be experiencing the same issue you all had with it. The flat face seems more natural to me actually.

I enjoyed the novel experience because I know MY rifle & there weren't any other modifications I really got to concentrate on just the trigger difference. My old trigger was like shoving a concrete block over gravel from the opposite side of a door. By comparison this new one is just as simple as opening the door. I see a difference in the groupings; less thrown shots because the concerted effort required to drag the old to the break, along with the hard break itself is now gone. (There is currently little over travel after the break because of the style of safety I have, which is where the modifications I spoke of in an earlier post will come to happen) I have slender fingers & I think because of it there doesnt seem to be any real estate conflict between the bad lever & how it appears to sit (didnt measure) just a bit more forward in the trigger well. Also tested this wearing my cold weather range gloves but not with my subzero wear as that's really n/a.

Since I'm a trigger trapper & right now the only thing I might miss is the hard 'spring' & subsequent very loud 'click' of the reset. It was so loud you could easily hear it after each shot in the recordings @ my comps.

Of course, I need to do more range work to really find & know the sweet spot & but I think I'm going to commit & make the mods to seat it properly so I can get to work.

Glad to hear it?s working for you, the problem is you cannot go back to a cheap trigger after you have shot a nice one :)

Yay. I just worked it out to go shooting with someone from the forum tomorrow. Fun fun

Nice

Once I went to Hiperfire triggers I really can't shoot with milspec anymore.
Tho in a few of my builds the crazy nice triggers dont add much to the fun. Cheap AR blaster builds dont need the good stuff....

What I had was a Hiperfire. Think it was called the heavy gunner.

That's generally what this thread is for. Usually we tend to keep conversation on the lighter side though.

Hate to say my peace & quiet summer vacation is also almost over. Not looking forward to the confluence of idiot parents gathered in front of my house twice a day... the kids are rarely the issue. Denver public school starts in a few weeks.

Another hassle I get to look forward to is that someone always manages to hit my truck (usually in the first few weeks) while doing an illegal u-turn in the middle of the school zone just as school lets out because they are too lazy, stupid or both to anticipate & drive around the block. Since it IS going to happen I'd rather it be my truck than a child. At least I usually get to be an asshole (but still polite) to the person who hits the truck, it's cathartic. Kinda wish I could go all MMA just once though.

I actually bought an assortment of window pens (the ones used for prom, sports, just married etc.) & I fantasize about using them on all the folks' vehicles who park on my sidewalk, drive over my lawn, block my driveway, dump their ashtays in my street, park in front of my house on street sweeping days, hoarke my plowed parking, honk their horns incessantly, breathe, etc., etc., etc.

Still, I have hope that a few aren't little monsters in the making. I got a note once from a child who apologized that their ball went over the school fence & hit my truck & set off the alarm. No damage they could 'tell' but they weren't sure & a phone number. I called to thank them for their integrity & the parents didn't know the child had left the note until they asked the boy. Good kid.

How's that for random?

That works. ;-)

Just got back from a 4-day weekend in Moab. Hot as hell, but really an interesting place.

Nice to see that someone left a note. The other stuff is just the typical focus on themselves.

Got rid of the Tahoe in 2016. Took my Ram pickup. I'm not into 'wheeling'. Can't see putting money into a vehicle and then hoping not to break it while wheeling.

Was 106 at Arches while we were there. My wife probably has the best pictures since I was driving. I'll try and download her pics tonight.

I'm thrilled with my truck. Driving in 4WD/Offroad 1 for miles on unpaved roads getting back and forth to the cabin and exploring. Spent a couple of hours idling with the AC on at Arches and in town. Stop and go traffic trying to get back on I-70 Sunday. 2-3 passengers and a bunch of gear. That 5.7l Hemi averaged 21.9 mpg for the entire trip there and back.

You're too nice. Me i'd do to them what i did to those church goes who insisted on blocking my driveway. Using the Oh we're only here for an hour bullshit. 1 or 2 rusty screws placed under their tires. Took a few for them to perhaps get the hint. Or it might have been my friends tow truck hooking up one of the monied worshipers land rover. By that time i could care if they all burned in hell. i mean just for an hour, right.

Blocking a driveway for an hour is pretty much asking to be towed.

Man, that's too lenient.
